An Indigenous perspective

Population Projections

How many people are expected to call the Kimberley home in the years to come?
In this section we present median (moderate) and also highest forecast figures for the population of sub-regions in the Kimberley (or equivalent to ‘band C’ and ‘band E’ in forecast range terms).

These population figures are regularly produced and updated by the WA Planning Commission, which generates population projections. It is worth noting that these forecasts are not an exact prediction of the future population of the Kimberley, rather they highlight opportunities or hurdles that may need to be addressed in the future.
